Nissan Timing Belt

Interference engine design allows pistons and valves to interfere or make contact if the timing sequence is not set correctly or if the timing belt snaps resulting in piston and valve damage requiring an engine rebuild with new pistons and valves.

Nissan Timing Belt Replacement Intervals

Nissan Timing belts and Nissan timing chains should be replaced at the correct service intervals; especially on interference (most diesel) engines as belt wear causing incorrect timing may result in a very expensive repair bill.

Nissan Engine Bay Fluids

The lubricants, hydraulic fluids and anti-freeze chemicals used within the Nissan engine bay can degrade the rubber polymer compounds used in timing belt manufacture. As a consequence the belt life can be greatly reduced, especially if exposed to increased operating temperatures

Nissan Timing Belt Kits

The replacement parts needed for a Nissan timing belt service are usually supplied in "Kit" form to ensure

Nissan Timing Belt Fitting

Nissan Engines may come in many variations: single overhead cam (OHC), double Overhead Cam (DOHC), overhead valve (OHV) and the engine timing-cam belt can be used to drive other essential components such as the water pump and fuel injection pump on diesel engines.

The belt can run a series of pulleys from three on a simpler OHC Engine to 8 on a performance V6, V8 Engine layout.

Nissan Timing belt fitting is a complex operation that requires a great deal of labour to do properly

It is worth ensuring that other components likely to suffer the same wear and tear as the timing belt and might require a major service or replacement before your next timing belt change are replace at the same time.

Maximise timing belt life and service intervals. Consider replacing the Nissan water pump if it's driven off the same belt, also the Nissan camshaft and Nissan crankshaft oil seals. If the Nissan camshaft
oil seal or Nissan crankshaft oil seal fail then oil will impregnate the cam belt causing failure.
